Biography
al-Muti was the son of al-Muqtadir, and he long aspired to become Caliph like his father before him; he retired into hiding during the reign of Caliph al-Mustakfi. When the Buyids entered Baghdad in 945, al-Muti established himself at the new court, but the Buyid emirs dominated court politics. Infuriated mobs tore down anti-Sunni placards set up by the Shi'ite Buyids, but the Buyids remained in power for over 100 years. al-Muti died in 974.
